About me:

..
Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

- P.J. O’Rourke..

Convivial Hermit Magazine is a project I began back in 2003 after feeling increasingly disenchanted with the commercialism and shallow tastes of the various magazines I had been reading and writing in over the years. In contrast to the many publications I have written in previously, such as Metal Curse, Ad Arma!, Negura, Oskorei, Unrestrained!, Erebus, Qvadrivivm, Metalworks, Brutallica, Juggernaut and others, Convivial Hermit Magazine has been entirely managed by myself, from the writing to the art to the photography to the final layout. Starting from the 5th issue Bertrand Garnier and Brad Smith from NocturnalCult.com have also contributed.

The 6th issue is available as of July 28nd, 2012. It's pro-printed, perfect-bound with a thick, glossy cover and features 108 pages on heavy stock glossy paper, 8 1/2 x 11 inch perfect bound. EXCLUSIVE (25) interviews with the following artists/persons: JOE ABERCROMBIE (UK) • BERGTHRON (Deu) • BLUT AUS NORD (Fra) • CHRISTICIDE (Fra) • CRIPTA OCULTA (Por) • CRUCIAMENTUM (UK) • DAGOR DAGORATH (Isr) • DALINA (Blr) • DIGITAL FERRET RECORD STORE (USA) • FALLS OF RAUROS (USA) • FUNERARY BELL (Fin) • GJÖLL (Ice) • INFESTUS (Deu) • INVERLOCH (Oz) • KTAOABC (Ned) • LARRNAKH (Hun) • MONOLITHE (Fra) • MOVIMENTO D’AVANGUARDIA ERMETICO (Ita) • NEUTRAL (Rus) • PROFETUS (Fin) • PURTENANCE (Fin) • RIPPIKOULU (Fin) • TEMPLE OF TORTUROUS (Swe) • THE SULLEN ROUTE (Rus) • VSPOLOKH (Rus) + Killtown Fest Article + Finnish Death metal Report + Merzbow/Charles Cohen Concert report + Aube special + Worst metal 2009-2011 + 6 other articles + 19 pages of reviews

Praise for the 4th issue:

I can't think of a single magazine in the underground that can compete with this...absolutely fantastic... - Umesh Amtey (Brown Jenkins)

I was blown away by the look and quality. Great writing as well. Amazing job! - Marty (Worm Gear Distro/Magazine)

You kicked ass with the issue this time, looks top notch - Eric (Runic Records)

Fukn WOW! ...beautiful and in-depth to the extreme... - Nathan Birk (Listenable Records)

Your parcel brought an instant smile on my face... you really make a herculean effort to get inside both the music and the magazines. I am immensely impressed... - Geoff Birchenall (Asgard Root)

It's an amazing publication! Nice work! - Mark Riddick

It reads again very well and has some very interesting new bands/things in it - Marten (Neun Welten)

...the magazine looks great, 'feels' weighty such as how one would judge a well portioned steak, and exudes an unpolluted and untamed projection of a 'culture' C.H. represents. - Acrimonia (Caliginous)

Well impressed with it, the whole thing looks great. The addendum is a really nice, ehm, addendum. Very interesting read. - Frank Harthoorn (Gorefest)

Well done, like all-time! I have just read some interviews, but i am pleased already. - Stefan (Kerbenok)

Great Magazine. - Thor (Morkeskye Magazine)

I think you can not top this with the next issue, it's perfect! - R.U. (Ulfsdalir)

An incredible job! - O.T. (Akitsa)

A fantastic issue. - Rob (Ars Magna Recordings)

I was the whole weekend enjoying the wonderful work you made, your magazine... is really incredible!!!. - Alejandro (Diadema Tristis)

A really great layout and there are some interesting bands. I will enjoy reading it. - Mark Britton (Ethereal Woods)

It's really great and professional looking! Great design and artwork! In two words - killer zine! Maybe I'll say too big [a] word, but to be honest, this is the most professional (but in the same time, not fancy and fashionable), good looking, varied and interesting zine that got in my hands through all my life! - Alexander (Aryan Art)

What a MASSIVE issue it is!!! it really looks great and there's some great material in there thats for sure, you have done a great job here. - Desolate (Austere)

It looks beautiful!! [The Merzbow comic] is fantastic, I laughed so much!! When would you release that in book form?? - Hirofumi Uchino (Defektro)

It's a really great work! - Makoto (Weird Truth Productions)

You have created one quality, and unique Magazine! - Mick (Fen Hollen)

So many magazines are filled with reviews that leave one wondering if the reviewer even listened to the release in question. It was obvious that you gave each review a lot of consideration, and weren't just trying to fill space. I've liked the reviews quite a bit, [and] the Merzbow comics were quite cute. - Adrienne Harvey (Maelstrom Studio Lab)

Wonderful and huge magazine. Intelligent interviews and reflections, great reviews, etc. Best underground mag out there. - Moribond (Forteresse)

This issue came out very well, good work! - Andy (Rusty Axe Records)

It's most impressive and has that epic feel of 90's Slayer Mags, just with better design, interviews and diversity. - Adrian (Mournful Congregation)

A grand piece of work! - Mikko (Qvadrivivm Magazine)

Man, what a colossal work... I am impressed by your efforts, by all means, this is again a big step forward.- Loki (The Pagan Herald)

It's great and has a wonderful design. I enjoyed it so much... in my point of view your work is the best for being familiar with underground bands. - Sadsoul (Sorg Innkallelse)

It looks really good, you have got quite a lot of stuff there. - Miikka (Nerlich)

Damn have you outdone yourself once again. Fucking fantastic. - Todd (God Is Myth Records)

The lay out was impressive as well as the print. I was, of course, aware of the intelligent and ambitious interviews but - and I blame my ignorance for this - I really didn’t expect this to be manifested on the whole magazine! - Fredrik (Equinox ov the Gods)

Very, very good... one of the best zines I've seen in a long time - Robert (Valse Sinistre Productions)

My first impressions are great, congratulations again! - Karsten (Throndt)

An amazing job! - Aaron (Nechochwen)

I love your magazine. - Jeff (Stronghold Records)

Your magazine is amazing, much respect for putting it together. - Nathanael (Musk Ox)

Very impressive job you've done here... your best issue yet! - Karl (Fall of Nature Records)

I'm quite impressed with the quality of Convivial Hermit... Keep up the good work. - Ben West (Oaken Throne)

All other back issues are currently sold out.

Who I'd like to meet:

Pleasant, educated people of all sorts and varieties; my favorite authors and artists (preferably living); and of course all of the extraordinary musicians who I have interviewed for the magazine...
